A People’s King, 2021

MLK wasn't searching for popularity when approximately two thirds of the American population took an unfavorable opinion of him, according to a 1966 Gallup poll. Since MLK's assassination, his image has been largely reduced to the famous "I have a dream" speech rendering him to that of a sound bite. The fact remains: he was a warrior King who never wore a crown nor brandished a sword, but his vigor in the fight for equality and justice was unparalleled.
